Chapter 12 – What Kind Of Party Is This?!
Third Person P.O.V.
*With Chloe on Saturday Morning*
Chloe woke up in her ginormous bed, with the sound of singing birds filling her ears,
"Miss Chloe?" She heard a voice of her butler through the door "Are you up? Breakfast is ready, and you have a letter for you that came in the mail." Her butler informed her through the door.
Mail? Chloe never got any mail, not only did she have a phone if people wanted to contact her, but….no one liked her…Snap out of it Chloe! She looked at herself in the mirror, 'ugh!' she looked terrible, there was no way she would the butler see her like this.
"Chloe?" Her butler called once again.
"I'm up" Chloe replied politely, "Can you please leave the breakfast, and letter at my door?"
"Why of course Miss Chloe" The butler said, then Chloe heard him set down the tray, and then heard footsteps retreating downstairs.
Carefully, Chloe quickly peeked out her head to make sure no one was there, once the coast was clear she picked up her breakfast, and the letter, and returned to her room. She carefully set the breakfast down on her bed as she sat down, careful not to spill it, and looked at the letter.
It read, "Dear Miss Chloe, remember me? I am that old man you talked other day. Are you ready for the party? I sure hope so! Please come accordingly, supplies needed is in ring box.
Hope to see you there! Old Man in Hawaiian shirt."
Chloe had completely forgotten about talking to the older man and had given him her address. She honestly didn't expect him to take it seriously, and she didn't have anything to do today, so she was super excited. Which, for Chloe, didn't happen very often, her life was very uneventful despite who she was. Chloe had finished reading the letter that had an address, time, what to wear, and other things like that. The one that really stuck out to her though was when it said, "Where mask!" What mask? She didn't have a mask, was she supposed to? It wasn't Halloween was it? What kind of part was this?! Chloe mind was so full of questions, but she calmed down her brain, and grabbed the beautiful octagon ring shaped box. It was absolutely breathtaking! It had elegant designs on it, and swirls, and they were all in the color yellow and white: her favorites! She excitedly opened the box only to be greeted by a bright yellow flashing light…Well that is not how she wanted to wake up! Speaking of waking up, she was surprised to see a small little creature laying on her bed sleeping…..that looked suspiciously like a bee….but not. Was it alive? Chloe inspected it further and concluded: definitely alive, it was breathing. Chloe continued to look at it, the more she studied it the more she found it adorable and for some weird reason found the urge to protect it, and never let anyone else know about her. As selfish as that might sound, who knew what would happen if she told anyone about her (Chloe immediately decided it was too cute to be a boy) they would probably send her off to some weird lab and study her, probably treat her unkindly, and she could possibly die. Chloe vowed to herself quickly that she would never let that happen!
*yawn*
Chloe looked down at the adorable creature who know had her beautiful blue eyes open, Chloe couldn't help but think that she kind of looked like her, and c'mon. Chloe was quite a catch!
"Is your name Chloe?" The little creature asked to Chloe's surprise.
"You can talk?" Chloe shouted, but careful to be quiet so nobody thought she was crazy.
"Yes, and apparently so can you" The creature said unimpressed.
Ah, Chloe thought, so she has a temper…..this otta be fun!
"Yes, I can, I thought that was obvious!" Chloe replied with just as much attitude as the creature did to her.
Surprisingly the little creature smiled and said, "Yay! They are starting to get that I can't work with pushovers!" She inspected Chloe quickly flying around her, "You're not as great as my last one, but you'll definitely do! Especially with that attitude of yours!"
"What do you mean "last one"" Chloe asked impatiently, "What exactly with I be good enough for, and who are you?"
"Oh!" The creature said as if she remembered something, "Where are my manners?" She definitely remembered something: her manners, "My name is Blitz, and I am the bee miraculous!" She said proudly.
"You're the what now?" Chloe said confused.
"I'm the bee kwami!" Blitz said once again, but Chloe still looked confused, "You know…..the bee kwami!" Blitz said again helplessly.
"Doesn't ring a bell, do you want to explain?" Chloe asked, genuinely curious.
Apparently Blitz picked up on this and was about to say something important but instead looked behind Chloe at her tv gasped and said, "Tikki and Plagg are at it again!" She said proudly.
"What" Chloe said, turning around to see once again Ladybug and Chat Noir on tv, fighting another akuma, "Oh that's just Ladybug and Chat Noir."
"Then it is Tikki and Plagg!" Blitz said excitedly, "I do what they do!"
"You do what Ladybug and Chat Noir do?" Chloe asked dumbfounded, completely and utterly confused.
"No, I do what their kwamis do!" Blitz said, but when she Chloe's confused face she said, "I'll explain the whole thing to you….this might take a while." She said dejectedly.
"I have all day" Chloe responded firmly, she really did have the whole day, well…..except for that party.
*An hour and a half later*
"So that's what I do, and now you're going to become like Ladybug and Chat Noir." Blitz said firmly.
As much as Chloe wanted to say know, afraid that she was the wrong person, she didn't know if she could handle the weight of Paris on her shoulders, or even be kind…she was told that she wasn't, but she knew she couldn't get out of this so she just responded, "Ok"
"Wow" Blitz said sort of surprised, "You surprisingly well."
"Well I don't have much of a choice do I? You said that this master you spoke about me needed me, and chose me for a reason. That's a feeling I haven't felt since my mother left me and my father when I was little….." Chloe said wistfully. She didn't hate her mother for leaving her….she just missed her. Not many people knew about Chloe's mother leaving her and her father, most never asked. They just believed she died, disappeared, or something like that. Despite her mother leaving her, she made Chloe feel wanted when she was little. Which, it wasn't that her father didn't, but…her father gave her everything she wanted, except his attention. Well, Chloe got money, her father's love as his only daughter, but she never had to work for anything whatsoever, which didn't matter to her when she was a teen, but….now that she was older, she wished it did matter to her when she was a teen, how many mistakes she made back then…too many to count. She was so selfish, the only person that knows how much Chloe regrets her actions as a teen is Sabrina. The only person who stuck as her true friend, through her awful teenage years. Eventually as Chloe got older, she and Sabrina became more than just best friends, they became sisters…
"I know what you're feeling right now…" Blitz said sadly, "This is why you're perfect for the job, you've known loss, and you've known regret and humiliation. These attributes are necessary if you want to become a hero. Chloe you're are going to be the next Queen B, and you'll prove it to everyone at that party tonight!" Blitz said encouragingly.
Chloe chuckled at her kwami's actions, "Thanks Blitz, but if I'm going to be hiding behind a mask the whole time. I want to do it right this time, I'll make sure that I work with my teammates as equals and people I would consider family. I won't make the mistakes I did when I was a teenager, I'll start over!" Chloe said confidently. Despite just meeting Blitz, she felt as if she had a deep connection and understanding with her, perhaps she had found another sister, just not a human sister!
"But just don't forget your sass!" Blitz said, humor in her voice, "You are Queen B after all!"
"Wouldn't dream of it!" Chloe said, smiling.
She and Blitz had a couple hour before they had to get ready for the party, so they decided to go to a secluded area that no one knew about but Chloe to go train. Chloe didn't want to show up to party and look like a total noob!
